Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a system and method for using various pulse characteristics to encode data. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, variable duration pulses, variable duration spaces between pulses, pulse amplitude, pulse phase, and pulse polarity. These characteristics can be used to transmit data using ultra wide band wireless or hard-wired systems, as well as optical storage media like CD-ROMs and DVDs. The invention also uses M-ary encoding to further increase the efficiency of data transmission. The system detects the start and end of pulses and can program the system to listen for the end of a pulse. Overall, the invention provides a faster and more secure way to transmit data using pulse characteristics."

Problems solved by technology

Problems arose with the use of many different types of binary encoding.
As more and more systems move to wireless methods of communications and storage, transfer and processing time will become critical.

first embodiment

[0061]The first embodiment of the present invention is a modification of the UNICODE standard symbology. This modification represents the numbers, 0 through 9 (base-10), using only a single variable duration pulse and / or variable duration space between pulses. Computers using this modification perform base-10 math. Base-10 math is more efficient and up to eight times faster than the base 2 math now required with binary symbology. All other standard UNICODE symbols would be represented by combinations of variable duration pulses and / or variable duration spaces between pulses as opposed to a sixteen digit binary number. The main advantage of UNICODE is a standard symbol set can be used by computers for universal data interchange. One example of a scheme to use single variable duration pulses and / or variable duration spaces between pulses to represent numbers, 0 through 9, is shown in Chart 1:

second embodiment

[0082]This modification changes the representation of numbers, 0 through 9 (base-10), in any version of ASCII standard character sets from a eight digit binary number to a single variable duration and / or variable duration spaces between pulses electronic or photonic pulse. All other symbols in any ASCII standard character set are represented by combinations of variable duration pulses and / or variable duration spaces between pulses. Chart 5 illustrates a sample of ASCII symbols other than numbers, 0 through 9 (base-10), represented by an eight digit binary (0,1) number, in comparison with a modified version using combinations of variable duration pulses.

Abstract

A method and system for storing and transmitting data using variable pulse characteristics to represent ASCII or UNICODE characters, of the value of a string of data using a number base higher than 2. Pulse characteristics are modified to correspond to different data values. Pulse characteristics can include pulse durations, pulse spacings, pulse amplitudes, pulse phases, pulse polarities, pulse shapes and / or other pulse characteristics.
